As you know, not long ago I’ve created a database of all problems at JF, available at Original Problems section → Authors at Julia’sFairies. Now I’ve changed the view of Original Problems lists for 2013-2014, so all problems presented are taken from the same Authors database and you have an options to see either all published problems during current period, or just those participating in the informal tournaments JF-YEAR-I/II/III, or just Retro & PG problems. Link to the whole list of Retro & PG problems 2013-2014 is also added at the top of all lists of Original Problems for 2013-2014.

A period of publications is May – August, 2014; the judge of JF-2014-II is Dmitri Turevski; and the judge for Retro and PG problems 2013 – 2014: Hans Gruber.

Retro and PG problems 2013 – 2014 is linked to the whole list of Retro & PG problems, but in the table below you can see only those published in the current period. An additional selection:

Show all Show only problems for JF-2014-II Show only Retro & PG problems

allows you to see either all published problems, or just tournament JF-2014-II, or just Retro & PG of this period. For the better visualization I’ve made a different background for Retro & PG problems.

The whole idea is to help authors to find their problems on JF, to help judges to get a lists of problems for their tournaments, and to help me to find everything! 🙂

All entries must be received within 31/12/2015 by the Tournament Director, via e-mail (valerio.agostini@gmail.com) and will be published in the magazine (each participant will receive a copy of the publication and the award).

The Israel Chess Composition Society is glad to announce the 1st Israel Open Solving Championship.

The event will be held in a similar format to the ISC, with a single difference: B category will consist of 6 problems in each round instead of 4. However the problems in this category will be significantly lighter and simpler, thus inexperienced solvers can win points.

Date: Sunday July 20th 2014, 11:00 CET.

Main controller will be Paz Einat. All countries who wish to participate should contact the main controller by e-mail: pazeinat@gmail.com. Final date for registration: July 1st 2014. The local controllers will receive all necessary word-format documents by e-mail no later than July 15th 2014.

Results will be available onwww.variantim.org. Top places are guaranteed medals which will be given in the upcoming congress in Berne.
